https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majority%20logic%20decoding | In error detection and correction, majority logic decoding is a method to decode repetition codes, based on the assumption that the largest number of occurrences of a symbol was the transmitted symbol.
Theory
In a binary alphabet made of , if a repetition code is used, then each input bit is mapped to the code word a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated%20aging | Accelerated aging is testing that uses aggravated conditions of heat, humidity, oxygen, sunlight, vibration, etc. to speed up the normal aging processes of items. It is used to help determine the long-term effects of expected levels of stress within a shorter time, usually in a laboratory by controlled standard test me... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duality%20%28optimization%29 | In mathematical optimization theory, duality or the duality principle is the principle that optimization problems may be viewed from either of two perspectives, the primal problem or the dual problem. If the primal is a minimization problem then the dual is a maximization problem (and vice versa). Any feasible solution... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test%20cross | Under the law of dominance in genetics, an individual expressing a dominant phenotype could contain either two copies of the dominant allele (homozygous dominant) or one copy of each dominant and recessive allele (heterozygous dominant). By performing a test cross, one can determine whether the individual is heterozygo... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point%20cross | In genetics, a three-point cross is used to determine the loci of three genes in an organism's genome.
An individual heterozygous for three mutations is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual, and the phenotypes of the progeny are scored. The two most common phenotypes that result are the parental gametes; the... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinner%20%28cell%20culture%29 | A Spinner is a type of bioreactor which features an impeller, stirrer or similar device to agitate the contents (usually a mixture of cells, medium and products like proteins that can be harvested). The vessels are usually made out of glass or stainless steel with port holes to accommodate sensors, Medium input or gas ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull%20number | A hull number is a serial identification number given to a boat or ship. For the military, a lower number implies an older vessel. For civilian use, the HIN is used to trace the boat's history. The precise usage varies by country and type.

Through this corporation, representatives from all of California's K-20 public educ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant%E2%80%93fungus%20mutualism | The ant–fungus mutualism is a symbiosis seen between certain ant and fungal species, in which ants actively cultivate fungus much like humans farm crops as a food source. There is only evidence of two instances in which this form of agriculture evolved in ants resulting in a dependence on fungi for food. These instance... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson%20network | In queueing theory, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, a Jackson network (sometimes Jacksonian network) is a class of queueing network where the equilibrium distribution is particularly simple to compute as the network has a product-form solution. It was the first significant development in the... |
